TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: y

Be it known that I, H. ROSENTHAL, of 269 Pearl street, in the city, county, and Stato of New York, have invented a new and improved Brushg and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable o thers skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

The present invention relates more particularly to paint-brushes, and consists of a novel'mode of securing or uniting 'the bristles composing the brush to its handle without the handle entering the bristles, as willbe ,obvious from the following detail description of the brush, reference being had to the accompanying plate of drawings, in which- Figure 1.is a central section through the brush taken in the direction of the length; and

Figure 2, a modification in the construction of the brush shown in iig. 1.

Similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts.

A, in the drawings, represents the bristles constituting the brush, and Bthevhandle, the two being connected and joined together as and in the manner following: C, a ferrule or collar made ofiron or"sther suitable metal or material, in which ferrule,`from one end to the other, one end of the bristles forming the brush is inserted, where, by means of cement or other suitable adhesive materials or substances, or in any other proper manner, they are secured and thereby rmly held and fastened, the bristles being all trimmed olf or otherwise made smooth and even at the end or edge .D of the ferrule C. Over and to the end D of the ferrulc a cap-plate or disk, E, is secured by means of its prongs F that-projector extend inside of the ferrule, and are there secured by rivets a or in any other suitable manner. To this plate E, in its socket Gr, the handle is inserted, and secured either by screwing it in, or by riveting, or in Vany other suitable manner; the handle extending through the socket `to or nearly to its inner end, or that end by which the plate E rests upon the top of the bristles, etc., in the ferrule.

From the above description of my improved brush it is plainto be understood'and seen that by means of the ferrule and plate-socket axed together, as described, a connection is established between the bristles and handle without the handle being inserted in the bristles in the slightest degree, while at the same time a rm,

secure, and rigid fastening of the bristles to the handle is obtained, and one which is simple in construction and easy of application. y

In fig. 2 a modification. is shown, which consists in the mode of securing the socket-plate to the ferrule, which is done by dispensing with the ear-pieces thereto and rivets, and providing it with ascrew-thrcaded fiange by means of which it can be screwed into the ferrule suitably provided with a 'screwdthread therefor.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim asnew, and desire to'seoure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the ferrule C, socket-plate or disk E, handle B, and bristles A, when the latter are secured within the ferrule, as described, and the parts connected together, substantially as sct forth.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 18th day of March, 1867.
